The Barbie Crop is a short sleeve, cropped sweater that’s knit up in Junkyarn’s beautiful DK base. It features three colorwork motifs on the yoke: flowers, the iconic Barbie pumps and purses! The pattern uses an optional three stranded colorwork for the flower centers and purse design, but it would look fantastic with a single CC as well!
